So, if effects pedals are snake oil, I'm getting lots of practice wrangling snakes

Thought it would be a clever idea. See also: http://www.therecordingrebels.com/viewt ... 082#p52476 . I bought the enclosures pre-finished (powder coated) in cream and the brown knobs to go along w/the idea. Can't really change the enclosures at this point, though I could order different colored knobs.

Thinking back, though, the sound I was going for was kind of "frothy", not an in-your-face and harsh fuzz, so I think that's really what started it all. But the sound shouldn't be totally smooth; it should also have some potency, some kick, some "caffeine".

Ooooooh okay. I see. I get it now.

I've started a delay from an existing schematic/layout (I wouldn't dream of attempting to design something like that yet...maybe never). Got some stuff wrong on the board I soldered and it didn't make a sound, fixed one cold joint, so now it passes audio, but something else is goofy in that it goes into infinite feedback if I have the "repeats" knob turned up more than 1/8 turn or so, so I've got more debugging to do on that circuit.

Ill take it!

Why not Fresh Warm Fuzz. It is quite nice and warm for a fuzz tone. I do like that last idea best though

Lol. That one's pretty good.

What's with the coffee angle though?

The twitchy coffee hands during soldering are an important part of the tone!

I also advise against the trademark-baiting design, as cool as that would be.

Hmmm... If you did a "fuzzy-nose" series, that could lend itself to varyingly aggressive/scary animals for different versions of the pedal. (e.g. a teddy bear for the smoothest fuzz to a grizzly for the harshest)

Haha, that's a great idea.

Like so?

Also, another variant of one of my first ideas, but inverted colors:

Closing the loop on this one; here it is with labels/graphics:

Looks pro. You can probably sell it for $500.

I am impressed!!!!! Dude that looks amazing. I am not a pedal guy really, but that blue light thing with the white and black would make me want to buy that hands down. no foolin'
